Monday couldn't come quick enough for Grace and Hollie, on the morning of the Disney trip they were both up and dressed by five am, their mom and Kelly weren't getting up for a few more hours. Grace and Hollie were dressed in dungarees and Disney t-shirts, their long blonde hair was in two ponytails, in their current state they didn't look like nineteen year olds, they looked like nine year olds.
An hour later Callie and Kelly appeared in the kitchen, still much asleep, the girls greeted them loudly.
"Mom, Kelly good morning"
Callie groaned "You two are entirely to happy this morning, I need a drink"
Kelly hands Callie a coffee, Callie gags at the smell "Jesus Kelly I don't do coffee, there's only one drink for me and that's plain old tea"
Kelly, Grace and Hollie nod, then Grace gets the giggles as Hollie hands Kelly a small gift bag, looking inside the coffee that was in his mouth now ending up all over the kitchen floor, Callie looks over from the kettle and Kelly starts to mumble quietly.
Callie smiles "What was that?"
"I said not an appropriate gift girls"
"What did you give Kelly?"
Kelly lifted the box of condoms from the bag and it was then Callie that decorated the floor with tea, she recovered quickly and glared at her giggling daughters, before rolling her eyes and walking out of the kitchen and upstairs to get ready for the road trip ahead of them, when she was pulling her t-shirt over her head Kelly walked in and then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Urh Cal I'm so sorry"
Callie looks over her shoulder "What? These are shorts not my pants, how big do you think my pants are?"
Kelly blinks several times, Callie groans "Forget I said that"
Kelly nods and goes to get ready, he smiles as Callie moves out of the bedroom and he quickly gets ready, he wouldn't tell Grace or Hollie but he was in fact excited about the Disney trip, he also hadn't told the girls that they'd be spending time at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park, Magic Kingdom park, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood studios and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, he wanted this to be special, he'd even asked his dad for some of his inheritance so he could spoil his new family.
Benny was intrigued at who had settled his rouge son down and insisted that he meet them once they returned from their trip, Kelly was nervous his dad had never taken any time to find out about previous partners, Benny knew that there was twin girls involved, but what Benny didn't know was they were nineteen and very much part of Kelly's life.
Twenty minutes later Grace and Hollie were sat in their moms SUV getting impatient, Grace took off her seatbelt and pressed down on the car horn, someone's arm came out the door signalling two minutes, Grace sat back down in the seat and groaned, Hollie nodded wondering what possibly could be delaying their mom and Kelly.
Inside the house Callie was gathering bits of paperwork into her little travel bag, double checking what electrical items didn't need to be on were off, after the fourth time going around the house, Kelly giggled.
"Everything is ok"
"I know baby I just need to make sure, I've always did it. You got your proof that you're on my insurance for the car?"
Kelly nods "Yes and you have your copy, but we are flying so why do I need proof that I can drive your car? Come on Cal we have everything and more and I don't want the girls to press the…"
The car horn was pressed again and for much longer this time, Callie and Kelly smile and walk out of the house, Callie locked the door and jogged down the steps and gets into the car, before turning on the engine she looked up at the house again.
In unison Kelly, Grace and Hollie spoke "MOM, CALLIE"
Callie held up her hands "Yes I know, sorry"
Callie drove to Chicago O'Hare airport and smiled at Kelly "You know the reason your on my insurance is so you can drive the hire car in Florida"
"Of course"
Grace and Hollie giggle, Kelly playfully glares over his shoulder and goes bright pink when Grace and Hollie blow kisses at him, he quickly turns in his seat and stares out the passenger window, Callie smiles and continues the drive to the airport.
On approach to the airport car park, Callie's phone starts to ring, Kelly grabs it out of the bag and answers.
"Hi Bruno you ok?"
Yes I'm good, you on your way to the airport?
"Yes just about to go into the car park"
Put me on speaker please Kelly.
Kelly presses the button for speaker phone and holds it out in his hand "Go ahead Bruno"
Grace, Hollie me and nanny have put some money into your bank accounts for your holiday, Callie we've done the same for you and Grace now if you may?
Grace handed Kelly an envelope, Kelly looked down at the envelope and then to Grace.
"This is where you open it Kelly"
Kelly nodded "Urh yeah"
Kelly opened the envelope to find money in it and a note stating that there was $10.000, Kelly looked around the car and then down at the phone, he could hear Bruno laughing.
"Bruno I can't accept this"
Pretty difficult to give it me back now, Kelly you're family, you have paid for this trip and I want as a father and grandfather to contribute, so enjoy and bye for now.
Kelly was about to respond when the beeping of a disconnected phone made Callie, Grace and Hollie giggle, Callie pulled into the parking space and grabbed her bag and phone from Kelly's hand, she went around to the trunk and handed Grace her suitcase and carryon bag, Callie did the same for Hollie, Kelly eventually joined them at the trunk and Callie handed him his suitcase and carryon, Callie then took out her suitcase and carryon bag and shut the trunk.
As Callie turned around Kelly was in a hug with Grace and Hollie, it was a lovely sight to see. Kelly was beaming with pride, he looked over and winked at her, Callie nodded and made sure the car was locked before depositing her keys into her bag, entering the airport the four of them stood and looked up at the information board for details of their flight, after five minutes their flight details appeared.
Flight 207 to Florida was at gate four and wasn't boarding for another two hours, Kelly started walking towards the shop and was followed by the girls, just at the entrance Callie stopped.
"I'll wait here, leave your bags here with me"
"Ok"
Grace handed her mom her carryon bag "Want anything mom?"
"Bottle of water and maybe a sandwich"
Grace nodded and walked into the shop following her sister and Kelly, she found Kelly stood at the fridges with four bottles of water, sandwiches, chips and chocolate, Grace went to grab her items and Kelly shook his head.
"Gracie, Hols go back out to your mom I've got this"
"Kelly I can get my own food"
"Yeah you don't have to buy us everything, we do have our own money"
"I know go out to your mom"
Hollie nods and walks away, Grace insists in helping Kelly and stands with him in the queue to pay, when it was their turn the cashier looked up and smiled, Grace smiled back and then noticed the gum.
"Could I possibly get some gum?"
Kelly nods "Grab some for your mom, sister and me"
Grace grabs four packets of gum and points to outside, Kelly smiles and watches as Grace moves away, the cashier looks at Kelly "How old?"
"Who me?"
The cashier laughed "No your daughter"
"Oh she's not…" Kelly sighs "She's nineteen, her twin sister is outside with their mom"
"You don't look old enough to have nineteen year old daughters"
Kelly scratches the back of his head "We were young when we had them"
Kelly wanted the floor to swallow him up, he then noticed Callie coming towards him holding a bag of fruit pastilles.
"Hi Hollie asked for these"
"Sure no problem"
The cashier smiled at Callie, Callie nodded and walked away, Kelly quickly paid and joined the girls outside the shop, he rolled his eyes at the experience and found Grace, Hollie and Callie looking at him.
"The cashier thought that Grace was my daughter, she asked how old she was and when I said nineteen, she stated I didn't look old enough to have nineteen year old daughters"
Callie nodded "What did you say to that?"
"That we had them young"
"Fair enough, come on let's get to the gate then we can eat"
Callie started to walk away, Grace and Hollie looked at Kelly and they both smiled, Grace spoke first "Does this mean we have to call you dad now?"
Kelly's head snaps up, Hollie giggles "Relax, if it helps during the holiday I don't mind calling you dad, if you want us too that is"
Kelly was dumbfounded, all he could do was nod. Grace and Hollie then follow their mom and look over their shoulders and smiled as Kelly followed behind them, once they were in the terminal where gate four was the four of them settled down waiting for the boarding call for their flight.
Once all food was eaten, Kelly took the waste to the bin, Grace and Hollie grabbed their phones and checked into their banking apps, they both gasped at the same time, Callie looked up as did Kelly.
"Girls?"
"Sorry mom but grandpa has put $10.000 into both our accounts, check yours mom"
Callie grabbed her phone and eventually got into her banking app, she looked up at her girls and Kelly "I'm going to kill your grandpa!"
"He's gave you $10.000 like me, Grace and Kelly?"
"Yes he has Hollie, so I repeat I'm going to kill him!"
Flight 207 to Florida is ready to board, elderly and families with young children boarding first.
Callie, Kelly, Grace and Hollie stood up preparing themselves to board the plane, little did Callie know that someone she hadn't seen since she was fourteen was going to be aboard the same flight, the person smiled and was formulating a plan in their head on how to introduce themselves to Callie once again.
Once aboard the flight, Callie and Grace sat together, Kelly and Hollie were together across from them, the unidentified person sat a few rows back and smiled as Kelly stowed away the carryon bags for all of them.
"Thanks dad"
"No problem Hols"
Callie looked at Grace and Hollie and shrugged her shoulders, Kelly smiled and handed Hollie her headphones, Hollie nodded and settled down, she wasn't a great flyer and she begged Kelly to sit next to her, Kelly agreed straight away.
"So where are we going once we have gone and got the car?"
"Now that would be telling, wouldn't it Callie?"
"Well you kind of have to tell me, I'm driving"
"Ahh that's where you are wrong, if I don't do some driving what was the point of me going on your insurance for this car and your car back home?"
Callie rolls her eyes and points at Kelly "You're a sneaky soul aren't you?"
"Pretty much, sit back and relax you all deserve this holiday"
Callie settles back and instantly falls asleep, the unidentified figure watches and listens intently, they notice that two of the women were asleep, she noticed the one remaining women smile at the man.
"Gracie what is it?"
"Can I just say, thank you so much for all of this, we've always wanted to go to Disney World and you've made all our dreams come true, you truly are a great man for mom, thank you dad"
Kelly smiles "The dad reference still is odd for me, but I'll get used to it"
Grace smiles and leans over the aisle "Yeah well get used to it, because that's all you're going to hear throughout this holiday"
Kelly squeezes Grace's hand and settles into his seat, Hollie moves and her head and it falls onto Kelly's shoulder, Kelly shifts in his seat so that Hollie can get comfy, Grace seeing her sister snuggle into Kelly smiles and sits back in her seat.
An hour into the flight Hollie was dry heaving into the on board sickness bags, Kelly was rubbing her back and stroking her hair, Callie and Grace were still asleep, the unidentified person gets up from her seat and stands beside Kelly.
"Excuse me I can't help but notice that your daughter is struggling with the flight, may I be of some help?"
"If you can find something to help I'd be grateful of the help"
"I have some boiled sweets she can gladly have"
Kelly pats Hollie's hand "Hols think you can try these boiled sweets?"
Hollie groans and holds out her hand, the stranger hands the boiled sweets to Hollie and then smiles at Kelly.
"You have a beautiful family"
Kelly looks at Callie, Grace and Hollie and smiles "I sure do, I'm one lucky man"
"Dad?"
"What's up Hols?"
""Can I snuggle with you again?"
"Sure thing"
Hollie snuggles back down into Kelly's arms and sighs, Kelly looks back up at the stranger "Thanks for that"
"No problem I have two daughters that don't cope well with flying either, but they fall asleep and everything's ok, pleasure to help, I'm Helen Reynolds"
"Kelly Severide, I'll let you get back to your family"
Helen nods and moves away and when she sits down she smiles at seeing the close knit family sat a few rows in front of her, she looks down at her two sleeping daughters and settles down into her seat.
When the plane lands in Florida, Helen notices that Kelly and the three women have already gone, she hoped that she would bump into them again whilst here, Helen looked down at her daughters and gently nudged them awake.
"Eden, Ellie time to go"
Eden and Ellie nod and get up quickly, meanwhile at the check in desk for car hire, Callie was getting the details for the car they were hiring, she was then handed the keys for a seven seater SUV, finding Kelly, Hollie and Grace stood to one side they walked the two hundred yards into the car park and headed towards the SUV.
After locating the SUV, Callie and Kelly pack up the car, Callie goes to get into the driver's side but Kelly grabs her back and pushes her towards the passenger side "Go on sit, I've got this"
Callie salutes Kelly and smiles "Yes boss"
Kelly shakes his head and gets in, little did he know that Helen and her two girls and come into the carpark when he pushed Callie towards the passenger side of the car, Helen moved quickly towards her hire car and once everyone was in, she quickly followed behind Kelly.
Meanwhile in the car Callie was staring at Kelly "So you finally going to tell us where we are going?"
"Nope, so sit back and relax, I've got this"
Callie huffed and sat back in the seat, Kelly smiled and continued to drive towards Disney's Polynesian Villas and Bungalows within the Magic Kingdom Resort, on arrival the three girls all sat up in their seats and squealed when they realised where they were going to stay, after checking in they made their way to their lake side villa, if Kelly thought the squealing was loud when he pulled up to the resort, it went nuclear when they got outside the villa.
Grace and Hollie jumped up and down and ran towards the lake and jumped up and down in excitement, Kelly and Callie smiled and walked towards the door of their villa for the week, Kelly and Callie walked in and found the villa to be very spacious, they heard giggles and splashing from outside, they both walked back out to find Grace and Hollie in their bikini's having lots of fun.
"Mom, dad come join us"
Kelly didn't hesitate for long and pulled his t-shirt off and jeans, he quickly got into the water and was instantly bombarded with water in his face by Grace, Callie grabbed the clothes up and put them on the porch and took off her t-shirt and shorts and waded in, Kelly stopped mid water strike to look at Callie in her pink bikini.
Callie smiled "My eyes are up here Kelly"
"I… urhh yeah"
Grace laughed "Busted!"
Kelly pushed water at Grace who laughed even more when it missed her and hit Hollie in the face, this caused Hollie to squeal and push more water back at her sister, three villas over Helen could see Kelly and his family, she smiled and watched as Eden and Ellie sat on the porch.
"Go have fun"
"Aren't you coming with us?"
"I said go have fun, so go have fun!"
Eden and Ellie stood up and jumped when the door to their villa was slammed shut, they both walked away and headed towards where the sounds of laughter came from, when they got closer they found Callie stood on the edge of the lake laughing, she turned to find Eden and Ellie looking at her.
"Hello"
Eden stepped forward "Hi sorry we didn't mean to intrude, we just heard the laughter and came to see what was so funny, I'm Eden and this is my little sister Ellie"
"Hi, would you like to join us?"
Eden shook her head "We best not our mom is a stickler for not talking to strangers, broke that rule I guess"
Callie smiles "I'm Callie, that's Kelly, Grace and Hollie"
Eden waved and smiled "Hey"
"So seeing as were not strangers now want to join us?"
Ellie smiles but points over her shoulder "Best not"
"Ok see you around?"
Eden and Ellie nod "Definitely, see you again soon"
Eden and Ellie walk away and Callie looks after them and then looks at Kelly who gets out the water and sits beside Callie on the porch.
"Did that seem odd to you?"
Kelly nods "Yeah, where's their mom? They can't be much older than twelve"
"Agreed, did you see how small those clothes were for them?"
"Yeah, come on shall we go get ready to go exploring?"
Callie nods and stands up, Kelly turns towards Grace and Hollie "Girls get out the lake were going exploring, might get a few goes on some of the rides if you hurry up"
Grace and Hollie get out the water quickly and head inside, within twenty minutes all of them were showered, dressed and walking towards the monorail, on the way they all spotted Eden and Ellie hanging around the entrance to the monorail.
Callie waves at them "Hi you two, you waiting for your mom?"
Eden sighs and shakes her head "No, but we told her we made friends, so were wondering if we could go on the monorail with you and then go our own way at Magic Kingdom?"
Kelly, Callie, Grace and Hollie all nod and both Eden and Ellie smile and follow closely beside Grace and Hollie onto the monorail, Grace looks directly at Eden.
"So Eden how old are you?"
"I'm fourteen and Ellie's twelve, how old are you?"
Grace giggles "We're nineteen nearly twenty"
Eden looks at them both "Aren't you a bit too old for all things Disney?"
Hollie shakes her head "Definitely not, I love everything Disney"
"Whose your favourite Disney character?"
"Well mines got to be Tigger because he's bouncy and full of fun"
"Really I like Tigger too"
Grace smiles at Ellie "Awesome"
Eden and Hollie roll their eyes, Hollie smiles at Eden "Well like I said I love everything Disney but my most favourite character has to be Stitch"
Eden smiles brightly "Same here he maybe an alien but he's just so cute"
Kelly and Callie smile as the girls sit talking about everything Disney, when they arrive at Magic Kingdom, Eden and Ellie go their way and Callie watches as they walk away, she has a sickening feeling that those two girls have no money to buy food or drink, Callie looks at Kelly and her girls and quickly walks after Eden and Ellie, she approaches slowly and hears the tail end of their conversation.
"Eden I'm hungry"
"I know so am I but you know mom has all the money"
Ellie groans as her stomach growls loudly "Sorry"
Eden smiles and pulls her sister into a hug "We'll be fine I'll think of something, I always do"
Callie coughs as she comes around from the tree she was behind and smiles as she approaches Eden and Ellie "Hey sorry to follow you, but I was wondering if you have any money for food and a drink?"
"We'll be fine Callie"
The loud rumble of stomachs told another story, Callie smiles "Look I'll be honest here, I'm worried, your mom isn't with you, you both sound hungry and I just want to help. Look I'm not a weirdo, I'm from Chicago and I'm a firefighter, as is my partner Kelly, please join us for today, we honestly don't mind. You get on well with Grace and Hollie, so why not?"
Eden and Ellie look at each other and them smile at Callie, Eden speaks "That would be wonderful, thank you so much"
"Come on"
Eden and Ellie walk beside Callie smiling the whole time and their smiles grow bigger when Grace and Hollie pull them into a hug each.
"So where we off first?"
Callie points at Eden and Ellie "They are both hungry so first stop food and a drink"
"Burgers, fries and milkshakes all good?"
Eden and Ellie nods enthusiastically, which makes Kelly smile. Grace and Hollie guide Eden and Ellie to the diner and Callie squeezes Kelly's hand, he squeezes back and smiles.
At the table Grace, Hollie, Eden and Ellie quickly choose their meals and watch as Callie and Kelly quickly pick out their meals, when the food is brought over Eden and Ellie wait patiently and don't touch the food even though everyone else has started eating, Kelly notices.
"You can start eating girls"
Both Eden and Ellie nod and tuck into their food, the satisfied looks on their faces doesn't get missed by Callie or even Kelly. Once food was eaten and the milkshakes finished Eden and Ellie couldn't thank Kelly enough, they were so grateful and it clearly showed when they couldn't stop smiling.
Kelly, Callie, Grace, Hollie, Eden and Ellie went on as many rides as possible, the smiles from Eden and Ellie couldn't be wiped off their faces until that got off the monorail and headed towards their villa, Callie noticed and nudged Kelly who just nodded.
"Hey girls, you're welcome to join us anytime you like"
Grace stands beside her mom "Can they come with us to Disney Animal Kingdom?"
"Gracie that isn't up to us, that's up to their mom"
"Well can I go ask?"
Eden and Ellie nodded and Grace and Hollie walk with Eden and Ellie to their villa to find their mom sat on the porch, she notices Eden and Ellie were coming towards her with the girls from the flight earlier that day. Helen sat up and smiled as they approached.
"Hey girls, you had fun?"
Ellie nods enthusiastically "Yes mom, we went on so many rides and we got burgers, fries and milkshakes"
Helen nodded and smiled at Grace and Hollie "Thank you, I was so wiped out from the flight and drive I'm sorry you had to have them tagging along"
"It was our pleasure and we were just wondering if Eden and Ellie can come with us tomorrow to Disney Animal Kingdom?"
"Urm with who?"
"Our mom, dad and us, please?"
"It's no trouble honestly, they are lovely girls, you must be so proud?"
Helen looks directly at Hollie and then at Grace and then Eden and Ellie "Must have the wrong girls, but if you insist they can go"
Eden and Ellie jump up and down and run into the villa waving at Grace and Hollie, Helen looks at Grace and Hollie and then gets up and walks into the villa and shuts the door loudly, Grace and Hollie exchange looks and walk back to their villa, to find their mom and Kelly sat on the couch cuddling up to each other.
Grace and Hollie sat on the couch opposite and sighed, Kelly sat up "What's wrong girls?"
Hollie sits forward "I have a bad feeling about the living arrangements for Eden and Ellie and those clothes are too small for them, so I'm going to find some of my clothes for them tomorrow, see you shortly"
Grace nods "Same here mom, dad they need us, I've decided that I'm going to use some of the money from Grandpa to use on Eden and Ellie"
Callie stands up and pulls Grace into a hug "That's a lovely suggestion but their mom might not appreciate it, just wait ok?"
Grace nods and wanders away to the bedroom, Callie sits beside Kelly again and turns to look at him "So we all have the suspicion that something's not quite right there?"
Kelly nods "Yeah and I hate to say this but they didn't smell clean"
"I noticed that too, oh Kelly what are we going to do?"
"Keep doing what we can"
Callie nodded and snuggled into Kelly more, the following morning at 6am the door went and Callie went to answer it to find Eden and Ellie on the door step in the same clothes as yesterday, she invites them in and goes to wake up Kelly, Grace and Hollie. She goes to the girls bedroom first.
"Grace, Hollie? Eden and Ellie are here and in the same clothes as yesterday"
Grace sat up in bed "Sure mom, so can we give them some of our clothes for today?"
Hollie also sits up in bed and gets up rummaging around in the bottom of her suitcase and brings out a unopened pack of panties "Got that covered also, send them in"
Callie nodded and walked back into the living room "Grace and Hollie said you can join them in their room"
Eden and Ellie jog to the room and then close the door, lots of giggling can be heard and Callie smiles and goes into the room, she finds Kelly awake and sat up in bed, the bed sheet pooling over his legs.
"Morning what time is it?"
"A little after six in the morning"
"Wow looks like Eden and Ellie's mom couldn't get rid of them quick enough"
Callie shook her head "Same clothes as yesterday, they are in the room with Grace and Hollie, they'll sort the showers and clothing side, we'll cover food and drink again"
"Definitely, they can be honouree Severide/Westerns for today"
Callie hugs Kelly and goes towards their bathroom to have a quick shower, Kelly picks up his discarded t-shirt and walks into the massive kitchen, to start making pancakes, he looks up from the stove when four different giggles can be heard walking towards the kitchen.
"Morning ladies, several different varieties of pancakes for you all, I'm going to take a shower so don't eat them all so that your mom and me can eat some too"
Grace rolls her eyes "Sure dad"
Eden smiles "I'll save you some Kelly"
Kelly points at Eden and smiles "That's a girl"
Eden goes bright red and gets herself several pancakes and sits beside Hollie at the breakfast bar, Callie wanders in a gets herself a tea and some pancakes before standing in front of the four girls.
"Morning"
"Morning Callie"
"Hi Callie, thank you for letting us join you it's much appreciated"
"Morning Ellie, you're welcome Eden" Callie giggles "So I have two of you dressed in Tigger t-shirts and shorts and two of you dressed in Stitch t-shirts and shorts, fair enough"
Callie smiles as she drinks her tea and smiles even more when Kelly walks towards the kitchen, Eden jumps up and grabs the last two pancakes on the plate for Kelly and proudly passes them to him.
"Thank you Eden"
"No problem Kelly"
Kelly grabs his coffee and settles down to eat, once he had eaten he watched as Callie, Grace, Hollie, Eden and Ellie run around the villa gathering shoes and bags, Eden and Ellie stood beside Kelly as Callie double checked that they had everything.
The six of them walked towards the car park and towards the SUV, Grace and Ellie sit beside each other and Hollie and Eden together, Kelly grabs the keys from Callie and gets into drive, he pulls away and heads towards Disney Animal Kingdom.
The day spent at Disney Animal Kingdom was the best day Eden and Ellie had in their fourteen and twelve years of life, little did they know that their lives were going to drastically change very soon.
Two days later Grace and Hollie were worried they hadn't seen their little friends for a whole day and they didn't like it, truth be told neither did Callie or Kelly, so the four of them split up and went on the hunt for Eden and Ellie.
Kelly, Callie, Hollie and Grace were in constant contact, Callie jumped on the monorail and headed towards the Magic Kingdom theme park, once there she looked at all the rides and shops but no luck, she was about to give up when shouting could be heard from the boat dock, Callie on instinct took off on a run and got to the boat dock quickly, she approached the shouting man and grabbed his arm.
"Hey what's happened?"
"Oh god two young girls are in the water, I can't get to them and we have a boat coming in soon"
Callie took off her bag and placed it on the dock, she slipped her t-shirt over her head and pulled her shorts off, to be stood beside a total stranger in her swim suit, he took one look and instantly turned away.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm a firefighter from Chicago I'm going to rescue them, be ready to grab them when I get back"
Callie jumps into the water and swims to the two girls, when she gets closer she soon realises that its Eden and Ellie, she swims faster and gets to them, Eden instantly recognises Callie.
"Callie you came?"
Callie nods and grabs hold of Eden and then Ellie "What are you doing in the lake?"
"Not sure to be honest"
"Come on hold on to me and we'll swim back"
Eden gasped "Callie the boats coming straight at us"
Callie looks over her shoulder to find the boat coming at them quickly, Callie grabs both Eden and Ellie and swims as quickly as she could towards the dock, everyone on the edge of the lake was screaming or pointing, Kelly, Grace and Hollie arrived at the same point and could hear the commotion along the shoreline, they all looked to find Callie swimming back to the dock with the boat coming at them.
Kelly took off at a run and got to the dock he quickly stripped off and jumped in getting to Callie in seconds, he grabs Ellie and swims back, he hands Ellie to Hollie and goes to help Callie with Eden, Kelly grabs Eden and gets back to the dock to hand off Eden to Grace. Kelly looks back to find the boat close to Callie, Callie senses the boat getting closer and swims the last few metres quickly before being pulled up and out of the water by Kelly and the guy on the dock.
Stood on the dock shivering Callie is hugged by Eden and Ellie, Eden and Ellie jump when they hear their moms voice shouting for them.
"Eden? Ellie? Where the hell are you?"
Callie walks to the voice and stops as she instantly recognises her mom, drunk and swaying.
"YOU!"
Helen looks up and sees Callie stood in front of her "Oh you've grown up so much Callie, you…"
HICCUP
Callie looks over her shoulder at Eden and Ellie "You're their mom?"
Helen nods "Yes I guess so, not that it's a good thing , they are useless brats"
"They are your daughters, my little sisters how could you treat them this way?"
"I'll tell you why the money I get for them goes on my drink and drugs, that's all I need them for"
"You're disgusting they are your children, you should do more for them, but then again I'm not surprised you always put drink and drugs before with me, so why would you be so different with my sisters"
"HOW DARE YOU PREACH TO ME! YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN ME! GOT YOURSELF PREGNANT AT FOURTEEN AND BLAMED MY BOYFRIEND!"
Callie growled "Your so called boyfriend raped me at fourteen and I'll never regret it, my daughters are my life and you'll never understand that"
Two police officers arrived with park staff and took one look at Helen and arrested her on the spot, as she was being dragged away she screamed "I hope you like your life in care, nobody will want you, I know I don't!"
Callie pulled Eden and Ellie into a tight hug and cried with them, Hollie and Grace grabbed their moms and Kelly's clothing from the dock and stood in silence, Kelly grabbed Ellie and picked her up and hugged her tightly, Callie did the same with Eden. Eventually they all walked back to the villa, once inside Eden and Ellie sat out on the porch as Kelly, Callie, Grace and Hollie sat inside.
"Mom what we going to do?"
Callie looked at Kelly "Well they stay with us and sped the rest of the holiday with us as family and if possible they come back with us to Chicago"
"Agreed"
Hollie nodded and stood up "I'm going to sit out there with them, mom you need to talk to Grandpa"
"Why Grandpa?"
Grace also stands up and pats her mom's shoulder "We need to get a bigger place, there's not enough room for six of us"
"They both make a lot of sense Cal"
Callie nods and smiles as Kelly joins Grace and Hollie out on the porch, Callie starts to ring her dads mobile and within seconds its picked up.
Darling girl you enjoying yourself?
"Hey pops yeah it's great, look dad there's been a development whilst out here"
Oh? Anything I can help you with?
"Yes actually, I need your help to find a bigger house, my current one isn't big enough for six of us"
Six of you? Last time I knew there was only four of you, you picking up stragglers again?
Callie sighs "Something like that pops, but try my fourteen and twelve year old sisters"
The phone is quiet for a few minutes until Bruno starts talking again.
I see, not a problem I'll get that sorted, you can explain more when home, need anything? Do they need anything? Do they need clothes?
Callie smiles down the phone "We've got it covered dad, me, Kelly and the girls are using the money you gave us to get them things"
Nonsense they are family, I'll send you some money for them, no questions asked, actually there's one. What's their names?
"Eden's fourteen and Ellie is twelve and dad, thanks"
No problem, now I'm going to get going I've got to find you a decent home for them and you, now go enjoy the rest of your holiday and Callie check your bank.
Callie opens her banking app and finds a deposit of $20.000 in there "DAD!"
Bruno laughs "Goodbye my darling girl.
The phone is disconnected and Callie rubs her forehead and sighs, she gets up from the couch and goes outside to find Eden and Ellie curled up on the blankets with Grace and Hollie all asleep, Callie sits beside Kelly and hugs him sideways.
"I heard you shout at him, what's he done now?"
"Only gone and put $20.000 into my account to get Eden and Ellie whatever they need"
"Woah! Tomorrow we'll take a trip to the nearest shopping mall and we can kit out the girls on whatever they need, looking at them they need everything and I don't mean to sound like a perv but I think they both need measuring for bras"
Kelly rubs at his neck and Callie kisses him "Kelly how do you feel about all this? You didn't need to be involved but you are and I can understand if you want to walk away"
"Walk away? Are you crazy? I told you that I'm in this for the long haul, you Grace, Hollie, Eden and Ellie are my family, no one will tell me otherwise, I'm one lucky man to have four girls I can teach and show them everything firefighter and Squad related, no boy will hurt these girls whilst I'm around!"
Callie rubs at her tears "Oh Kelly, I love you"
"I love you too"
"Hey dad can we just say we heard everything and we love you too"
Eden nods "I couldn't wish for a better man to call dad, if that's ok?"
Kelly nods and wipes at his own tears "Right girls bed time, goodnight"
Grace and Hollie stand up and pick up the blanket and hug Kelly and then their mom, Eden and Ellie stand to one side and stare out on the lake, Kelly and Callie stand beside them.
Eden looks up first "I'm glad we came here and found you, our sister/mom and dad are firefighters I can't wait to see your fire trucks back home and Kelly I'd love to learn everything about Squad, if it means I stay close to you I'm all for it, goodnight!"
Ellie watches as her sister walks into the villa "Can I say you don't know how much it means to find you, our sad excuse for a mother would often talk about you, saying that you were a waste and wouldn't ever accomplish anything, she was totally wrong and I think it's absolutely amazing that you're both firefighters and I can't wait to learn everything I can, yes I can talk but with motor mouth Eden I struggle to get a word in edge ways sometimes, but what can I do she's my sister and I love her, I'll see you both in the morning and goodnight"
Ellie hugs both Kelly and Callie and waves bye, Callie and Kelly watch as the four girls go into the bedroom, there's a few giggles but within twenty minutes there's silence, curiosity getting the best of both of them, Callie and Kelly go towards the bedroom and open the door, to find all four girls curled up and hugging into each other, Callie grabs her phone and takes a picture. Callie shuts the door and walks into the bedroom with Kelly closely behind her.
"Is it weird if I request for a copy of that picture for my office?"
"No of course not, they are your girls"
Kelly smiles from one ear to the other and after brushing his teeth he gets settled in bed, waiting for Callie to join him, Callie gets into bed and sits beside him "You honestly ok?"
"Of course, just never thought I'd end up being responsible for four girls that I've not had any influence in creating, doesn't change the fact that they are my responsibility now, that will never change, just a lot to take in"
"I get it honestly Kelly, I've just gained two sisters I didn't know existed but now that they are here I wouldn't change it for the world, wait kids you've not had the responsibility for creating?"
Kelly laughed "Yeah I'm a dad to two nineteen year old twins, a fourteen and twelve year old, all girls and if I wasn't going grey enough, with four girls I'm going to either be completely grey or bald in the next few years, plus being a father did almost happened to me twice"
Callie turned in bed to Kelly "Really?"
"Yeah a women called Renee and my best friend and house mate Shay"
"Tell me about those times?"
Kelly sighs "Renee, I met her on a shout, she fell for me we dated had fun and then she went away and came back pregnant telling me the baby was mine, turns out it wasn't. So, Shay asked me to help her have a baby, she was a lesbian and decided she wanted to be a mom, I agreed we went through IFV it failed and sadly before I could suggest doing it again she died whilst on duty"
"Oh Kelly I'm so sorry, so do you want to be a dad to a biological child?"
"Would be nice but I'm not going to put any pressure on you"
Callie nodded "I know one day I'd like to give you that opportunity but for now let's get things settled with Eden and Ellie first"
"Agreed, that was a conversation I didn't think I'd be having with you just yet, but glad we did, I look forward to the time we decide to start trying"
Kelly wiggled his eyebrows and giggled as Callie stopped mid drink of water and coughed "Whoops sorry"
Callie laughed and kissed Kelly's cheek before settling down in bed and falling asleep quickly, Kelly looked down at his sleeping girlfriend and got out of bed, he took another look in the bedroom where the girls were sleeping and he went outside to the porch, he took his phone out of his sweat pants and dialled Matt's number, it was picked up after the third ring.
Hey Severide, you caught me just as we got back from a call, you enjoying your holiday?
"Yeah it's good. I've just realised I'm a dad"
Wait what?
"I'm in this for the long run, Grace and Hollie started calling me dad and its stuck and I'm not going to lie I like it, then there's Eden and Ellie"
Whose Eden and Ellie?
"Callie's fourteen and twelve year old sisters, we befriended them, rescued them from the lake and their mom turned out to be a horrible drunk, she called Cal horrible names, said she hated Eden and Ellie, Matt they are the sweetest, they've got nothing so I'm doing girly shopping tomorrow, they need everything, it's disheartening how much they don't have, I'm their dad just as much as I'm Grace and Hollie's, then me and Cal talk about extending the family, it's just a wow moment, I've found the one and I'm so happy right now"
Wow, I wasn't expecting that, want me to fill in the firehouse? They are family.
"Yeah if you could Matt, Bruno's in the process of looking for a bigger property for us to all live in, can you look into schools for me, I want Eden and Ellie enrolled in school for when we get back to Chicago"
I'll ask the Chief see if there's any spots open at Donna's school.
In the background on Matt's end the whole house was called out on a call Got to go duty calls, see you all soon dad.
Kelly smiles "Yeah thanks Casey, stay safe"
Kelly stares out at the lake and jumps when Callie joins him "Hey what's up?"
"Was just checking in with Casey, he knows everything. He's going to start the process of getting Eden and Ellie enrolled in a school in Chicago, hopefully Donna's school, I told him I'm a dad. Benny's going to have a field day"
"Why would your dad have a field day?"
"Severide men are not known for settling down and I've got four daughters and a wonderful wife, I mean eventually I'd like to call you my wife"
Callie smiles "Callie Olivia Severide has a nice ring to it"
Kelly looks up quickly "Your dad would kill me if I didn't ask beforehand and I'm being honest for a man of only five foot he's scary and don't get me started on your brothers"
Callie nodded "They'd get over it"
"Maybe so but I value my life, besides I've got my girls to look after can't do that if I'm hung from Chicago drawbridge"
"True, but to be honest it's my mom you need to look out for"
Kelly gulps "Why?"
"Little Italian women who takes no nonsense, what she says goes, then again she'd be thrilled after the initial shock wore off"
"Cal you're talking as if were getting married tomorrow"
Callie smiled "As soon as possible I want to file for adoption of Eden and Ellie"
"Agreed a joint adoption, I want to adopt Grace and Hollie, I want us all to be Severide's eventually"
Callie sits staring out at the lake, Kelly grabs her hand "Cal what you thinking?"
Callie giggles "Do you know that you can get married at Disney Magic Kingdom and have the characters at your wedding?"
"No I didn't and where did you get that information from and why?"
"Hollie told me many years ago, said if she found the right man she'd want to get married at Disney"
Kelly nods and stands up and holds his hand out for Callie to stand up, they hug and walk back into the villa and their bedroom, snuggling in bed together they didn't wake up till the smell of breakfast woke them.
Wandering out into the kitchen they found the four girls making breakfast and tea and coffee, Callie and Kelly walked up to the breakfast bar and sit down to find bacon and eggs placed in front of them and a tea for Callie and Coffee for Kelly.
In unison the four girls said "Morning mom, dad"
"Morning who made the eggs?"
Eden raised her hand "I did, they nice?"
"They are the best eggs I've ever tasted"
Eden goes bright red "Dad really?"
Callie smiles "So we all set for a shopping trip today?"
"Are we ever you know I can shop till I drop"
Hollie nods "Yes and last time you did that you ended up in Chicago Med needing stitches to your eyebrow, so try to remain standing this time around"
"I'll hold you up Gracie"
Grace smiles at Ellie "Thanks sis"
Ellie turns to Callie "Mom once your dressed can you plait my hair?"
"Sure or would you like a legendary Stella Kidd braid?"
"Whose Stella Kidd?"
"One of my best friends, you'll meet her and the rest of the firehouse family when we get back to Chicago"
Ellie smiles "Ooh I'll have a Stella Kidd braid then please"
"Mom?"
"Yes Eden?"
"Can I have one of those too?"
Callie nods and finishes her breakfast and sits in the living room, with Ellie sitting in front of her first. Ellie sat patiently as Callie braided her hair, once completed Ellie stood up and hugged Callie. Eden then sat down and also sat patiently and was beaming with pride when she stood beside Kelly.
"Looking good Eden, you to Ellie"
Eden and Ellie nod and head outside, Callie goes to get ready and comes out the room to find park officials and a police officer in the living room.
"Oh hello, what can I do for you?"
"We came to give you the documents we found in the villa that was occupied by Helen Reynolds, it's the girls birth certificates and passports, there was also a letter stating that if the girls ever found a Callie Reynolds and if anything happened to Helen that Callie would automatically get full custody of Eden Rose Reynolds and Ellie May Reynolds"
"Wait don't I have to prove I'm related to them or something?"
The police officer stepped forward "That would be the case when there was doubt of being related but with you Miss Western and Eden and Ellie, you in fact share the same DNA from mother and father"
Callie looks up "Come again"
"The DNA.."
Callie holds up her hand "Figure of speak officer, my parents got back together and then had Eden and Ellie, well I wasn't expecting that"
"That's plainly obvious Miss Western"
Callie nods and starts smiling "Thank you all, but can you go we have a shopping trip planned with our girls"
The park officials and police officer went to leave, whilst Callie was distracted Kelly followed the park officials and stopped stood beside the little buggy, they smiled as Kelly approached them.
"Could I ask a serious question of you both?"
They both nod and Kelly continues "Is it true that people can get married at Disney Magic Kingdom?"
The younger of the two officials steps forward "Yes and all characters can be available to attend, why you thinking about it?"
"Maybe I am"
"Here's my number ring me later if you want to confirm it, shall I pencil you in?"
Kelly nodded and smiled as Grace, Hollie, Eden and Ellie came towards him "Dad can we go now?"
"Eden go get your mom and then yes we can get going"
Eden runs back into the villa and everyone laughs as Eden screams at her mom to get her butt in gear and get out the door, equally funny was Callie's loud reply was can't I use the bathroom in piece? Obviously Eden and Callie weren't aware that everyone could hear them outside.
Everyone quickly stopped laughing as Callie and Eden walked around the side of the villa, the family of six made their way to the car and out towards the nearest shopping mall, the day was spent going in and out of various shops, several trips were made back and forth to the car on the mention of bra shopping that was when Kelly ducked out and sat in the car.
Whilst sat in the car we rang Matt's number "Hey Casey how is everything in Chicago?"
Going ok, got Eden and Ellie into Donna's school, start straight away when you're back in Chicago, Severide why is it so quiet where you are right now?
Kelly chuckles "The girls are bra shopping and I don't think the girls would appreciate me hanging around"
Matt laughs Ooh yeah that sounds like a no go area, I did that once with Sylvie worst few hours of my life, well actually afterwards it was great.
"Woah Casey too much information"
Yeah sorry, just letting you know that everyone will be at the airport when you get back in a few days.
"Thanks for letting me know, oh the girls are coming back see you in a few days Casey"
Yeah see you soon.
A few days later found the new family of six walking through the airport and coming face to face with the whole firehouse fifty-one, the whole of the Western family and a massive surprise to Kelly Benny Severide.
Kelly looked at his girls and shrugged his shoulders as far as his father was concerned, Eden realised Kelly was shocked so grabbed his hand.
"Dad you ok? Are we still not telling them?"
"No Eden we tell them nothing and I'm good, you ready to meet your Grandpa Severide and everyone else?"
Eden steps closer to Kelly "As long as your there with me I can do anything"
Kelly, Callie, Grace, Hollie, Eden and Ellie all walk towards Benny first, Benny smiles and steps closer towards Kelly.
"Hi Kelly"
"Hi Benny, I'd like to introduce Callie, my girlfriend and our daughters Grace, Hollie, Eden and Ellie, they are nineteen, fourteen and twelve"
"Hi girls, I guess you can call me Grandpa"
All four girls smile and pull Benny into a hug "Hi Grandpa"
Benny stood up from the hug and smiled from one ear to the other, Herrmann got up on the chairs and announced loudly "Welcome home party at Molly's, first round of drinks free"
Everyone from fifty-one cheered, Callie looked over at her dad, mom and brothers and their confusion. Callie walked over and smiled.
"Hey dad the reason the firehouse family cheered is it's a rare thing that Herrmann offers free drinks at his bar Molly's"
"I see, a bit like your father and giving out free food from the deli, rare and extremely shocking when it occurs"
Callie giggles "Yes mom exactly like that"
Celeste Western giggled and pulled Callie, Kelly, Grace, Hollie, Eden and Ellie into a hug, Bruno had to pry Celeste away from the family of six, Bruno handed Kelly an address and walked away, Kelly looked down at the address and then walked towards Callie's car.
On approach to the car Callie stopped "Guys we have a problem"
Everyone stopped and looked at Callie "Well we have one car and six people, cars not big enough"
Kelly pulls out his phone and holds up his hand "Hey Casey you still near the airport?"
Sure, what can I do for you?
"Need help Callie's car isn't big enough for all of us, I need you to come take two of us to the new house"
Not a problem, what level you on?
"Level three"
Matt starts to laugh We're on level four, give me a few minutes and I'll be with you.
Kelly looks over at the five girls and smiles "Matt's on his way down from level four, he can take two people in his truck, who wants to go?"
Grace holds up her hand and as quick as lightening Ellie held up her hand, Kelly smiles as Matt pulls up and Matt and Sylvie get out.
"Hey guys, so who am I taking?"
"Hello Mr Casey you'll have the pleasure of taking me and Gracie"
Matt nods and gets down to Ellie's eye level "Ellie you can call me Matt or Casey calling me Mr makes me feel old"
Sylvie pats Matt's arm "You are old, you just like to deny it"
Everyone giggled, before Grace and Ellie got into Matt's truck they hugged Callie and Kelly, Kelly handed Matt a copy of the address and waved them off, Kelly got into the drivers seat and followed Matt of the carpark towards the new house and the new beginning of family life.
